Hey @NGKabra – your Moses/Machiavelli thread hits hard. But the “ruthlessness always wins” vibe? That’s shaped by low‑trust societies. There’s a proven alternative where goodness dominates. Seen it in practice. 👇

From a low‑trust lens, zero‑sum feels like reality—cunning rewarded, trust rare. But that’s not universal. Societies can flip the script. Nordic countries, Portugal, New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland: world’s leaders in safety, happiness, equity. All in living memory.

In these places, a girl walks alone at 2am, no fear. Low crime, high trust (>60% say “most people trustworthy”). They didn’t get there by harsher crackdowns, but by engineering cooperation: fair laws, healthcare/education for all, fast justice

The problem with science denial is that once you start, you just can't stop.
When you deny any science, you switch on an overrule function in your brain that you can use on any information you dislike.
The more you use it, the more effective it becomes.

If A and B both publish they are both better off than if they both don’t publish as they can build on the results of each other. However if just one lab publishes and the other doesn’t, the lab which doesn’t publish (“defect” in prisoner’s dilemma jargon) than that lab will

Previously, the ECI told the Supreme Court that 99% of voters have been supplied with the enumeration forms, and 50% of the forms have been digitised.

1/ Ukraine isn't just fighting for its own survival.
It's building the defense tech that could determine whether Taiwan survives a Chinese invasion.
Here's why Washington will want to care—and what the White House still doesn't know 🧵THREAD ⤵️

2/ While the Western defense industry focuses on what SELLS, Ukraine has become the world's leading lab for low-cost, rapidly-developing defense tech THAT WORKS.

3/ Here's what the White House misses:
Ukraine is building the world's only near "CCP-free" drone supply chain.
Neither the United States nor Israel can claim this level of Chinese supply-chain independence.
What if China cut off supplies needed for F35s? ⤵️

@phl43 "Collapse" by Zubok expands nicely on Kontorovich. While oil prices contributed, they alone wouldn't have been nearly enough to take down the USSR.
It was a perfect storm of many different things, but mostly Gorbachev's gross incompetence and continued procrastination. 1/x

@phl43 I've also read a book by Gaidar, Yeltsin's first minister of finance, that details the oil prices argument, but found Zubok's view more comprehensive. North Korea still persists after all.
The review in my pics tells most of the story

@phl43 And of course the actual decline predates 1980s. Large contributors were the terrible post-WW2 sex ratio (while West Germany, due to expulsions, gained MORE working hands than it lost in WW2), and massive subsidies for every loyal entity, up to every communist party in existence

Adv Prashant Bhushan (for petitioner): State has been giving contracts left and right to [the CM’s relatives]…
J Nath: Left, right and centre
Bhushan: State was to file affidavit as to which contracts have been given to immediate family members of the CM…they have filed for 1 district for last 10 years…essentially PWD contracts…31 nos. total value of works awarded 188 crores…work order 2 crores…they are saying below 50 lakhs, we can award without tender…they say we want to give the contracts to companies which are trusted by local people…that is, companies of relatives of the CM…difference with another company was only of 0.01 %...
J Nath: What relief have you sought?
Bhushan: We are seeking CBI investigation.

Bhushan: It's as if the state belongs to the CM and his relatives...earlier, this Court had asked the CAG to look into allegations in another petition...CAG has also filed a report, we have prepared a summary
Bhushan takes the Court through the CAG report
Bhushan: Allegation was that they have paid for transportation of rice by headload...even though cost of transporting was more than 100 times the cost of transportation by truck
J Nath: Is this something like Bihar Chara Ghotala?
Bhushan: In a way.

Let me Tell You, That TRADE-OFF is huge in terms of Web Experience.
For your Work purpose, Like Docs / Sheets etc; One should have an Air-Gapped Device of your Choice of use. Once you set it up, which requires Internet (connect through VPN for that); it should be always on A MOD

Which Means, NEVER EVER A NEW OS or APP Update, either on WIN or MAC; which is on Perennially A Mode.
Which also means, You would have to JUNK it like every 3 Years to Buy a New Latest Manufactured.

There has been a lot of misinformation and plain pro-Israeli propaganda doing the rounds on social media regarding the Dublin City Council report on the #HerzogPark name change that was later retracted. 👇
1. It was never a ‘leftist thing’ devised by a group of anti-Semitic councillors out to deny the positive contribution of Jewish culture and commerce to Irish Society.
That is what pro-Israeli media and back-pedalling right wing politicians and figures have falsely alleged.

The Netanyahu project in taking over the social media airways swung into action the moment it became public what Dublin City Council were planning. It was no longer a matter for the Irish to decide. It was rebranded as anti-Semitic with all-out shaming of anyone who agrees.
